Fruits and vegetables are sourced locally within Manitoba. When this is not made possible (as some produce are not available in Manitoba during the winter), we continue to use our best efforts to source as close to home.

Coffees & teas are certified fair trade and organic.

To go juice and coffee cups are made of recyclable materials.

Soap in the bathrooms is locally sourced, and biodegradable.

Practices

The Compendium website is hosted by 100% Green Renewable Energy Sources meaning that green energy certificates are purchased to offset all the power used by the website host company. The green energy certificates promote the development and use of wind and solar power. By putting equivalent clean energy back into the grid, we effectively reduce our carbon footprint and support renewable energy initiatives.

All in-house printing is done on recycled paper with a high percentage of post-consumer content.

All efforts are made to reduce the use of paper including keeping all files on computers instead of in file cabinets, reviewing documents onscreen rather than printing them out, and sending emails instead of paper letters.

Eco-friendly cleaning products are used to clean all areas.
